Sonu Sood talks about why he walked out of Manikarnika

After the exit of the director, Kangana Ranaut was quick to take up the task of completing Manikarnika. But as the actress turned director for the film, co-actor Sonu Sood seems to have been unhappy with the transition. Issuing a statement on the same, Kangana Ranaut said, “He refused to meet me. He vehemently refused to work under a woman director, which is kind of amusing because Sonu is a dear friend and I have even launched the music of a film that he produced at his request. Even though the team suggested that they have full faith in me, it seems, Sonu had neither dates nor faith.”

With a strong statement like this against the actor, Sonu Sood finally retorted to Kangana’s statement, saying, "The gender of the director is not the issue. Competence is. Let’s not confuse the two. I’ve worked with Farah Khan who’s a competent woman director and Farah and I had a great professional equation and we are still best of friends. That’s all I would like to say."

With this tug of war of words on between the two actors, this big period film is sure to bear the brunt.
